Centenary Progress on Orchidaceae Research: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundResearch on orchids has experienced substantial growth since the early 20th century, reflecting their ecological and evolutionary significance.
methodsThis paper provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of orchid-related literature published between 1902 and 2024, based on data retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection™ (WoS).
resultsThe primary goal is to assess the global research landscape of orchids by identifying key authors, institutions, and journals, as well as major research themes in the field. A thorough analysis of publication trends, citation frequencies, and keyword co-occurrence networks was conducted to uncover significant research hotspots. The findings indicate that orchid research has evolved from foundational topics such as taxonomy and classification to more intricate subjects, including conservation strategies, orchid-pollinator dynamics, and the role of orchids in ecosystem functions. Additionally, biotechnology-related research is emerging as a dominant trend. This study also highlights that China has the highest publication output, while collaboration between the United States and Europe continues to grow. The co-word analysis of keywords suggests that future research is likely to continue to focus on orchid conservation, the impacts of climate change, pollination biology, and symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi.
conclusionsThis review offers valuable insights for researchers and conservationists, helping to identify future research priorities and strategies for the preservation and sustainable use of orchids.
